They played very bad, and the coaching and play calling was atrocious, but...they had some terrible luck out there as well.
First, the targeting call on Blades, Jr. He leads with his head and clunks heads with the WR. Exactly like the targeting call on Ford two weeks ago. They confer, no foul! What??????
Second, Miami puts the ball on the ground deep in Pitt territory, and of course, we have no one in position to recover it!
Third, phantom hold on Hamlin in the endzone. Never saw that one on any replay unless it happened very early in the play, but the flag was late.
All the ridiculous drops! I wonder if that kid from Rutgers even has hands??? Amazing how easily he drops perfect passes.
Ford's almost miraculous INT. He gets both feet down, but then must juggle the ball. Couldn't see exactly what happened in the stadium, but another bad luck moment.
Not getting a TD when the runner is stopped less than a yard short. You have to kick there given the way the game was going, but so much time to protect a 2 point lead!
Knocking the Miami QB out of the game, only to get beaten by the backup or the backup's backup!
Amazing getting beat by a kid with a separated shoulder!
More great clock management by Nardawg. Not calling any TO's on Miami's final drive left no time on the clock for Pitt's O.
Ffrench was standing all along on the left goal line when Pickett took off on a run where we settled for 3. Had he only glanced left, he'd have seen him and had an easy TD!
Ffrench's last gasp drop. He catches that, he's off to the races. More stone hands!
Just a snake bitten program, period, Exclamation point!
